"Tomorrow, everyone need not rise too early; wait until your elder brother brings the tutor back before beginning."
"Eldest sister‑in‑law, are we not going to study at the Imperial Academy?" Eight‑year‑old Xiao Lidong asked timidly.
"Go study at the Imperial Academy? Once you enter, you’ll only be bullied. Don’t even think about it—better to study here at your own residence."
Avalanche at the main peak of North Mountain.
The avalanche’s coverage spans dozens of miles beneath the main peak, blocking the route out of the forest.

She held command over matters of the future, of great use to the crown prince, who would surely protect her completely.
Even the crown princess could not touch her.
Jiang Mengyue cursed inwardly that the crown prince’s secret guards were useless—letting someone break into her home and even allowing that madwoman to slap her twice.
